Make ye inquiries as to a woman teacher. She must be extremely modest,
even-tempered, forbearing, and well bred, and she must be expert in the
English language.

"61: In thy school, instruct thou God's children in the customs of the
Kingdom...."

In thy school, instruct thou God's children in the customs of the Kingdom.
Be thou a teacher of love, in a school of unity. Train thou the children
of the friends of the Merciful in the rules and ways of His
loving-kindness. Tend the young trees of the Abha Paradise with the
welling waters of His grace and peace and joy. Make them to flourish under
the downpour of His bounty. Strive with all thy powers that the children
may stand out and grow fresh, delicate, and sweet, like the ideal trees in
the gardens of Heaven.

All these gifts and bounties depend upon love for the Beauty of the
All-Glorious, and on the blessings in the teachings of the Most High, and
the spiritual instructions of the Supreme Concourse, and on ecstasy and
ardour and diligent pursuit of whatsoever will redound to the eternal
honour of the community of man.

Make every effort to acquire the advanced knowledge of the day, and strain

excellence, and strong in faith; scholars and educators with a thorough
knowledge of sciences and arts.

It is incumbent upon the exalted body of the Hands of the Cause of God to
watch over and protect these schools in every way, and see to their
requirements, so that all the means of progress will continually be at
hand, and the lights of learning will illumine the whole world.
